Mary Foote (November 25, 1872 – January 28, 1968) was an American painter and producer of notes of Carl Jung's seminars.

From 1928 to the 1950s she lived in Zürich and created and published notes of Carl Jung's seminars until World War II.

[6][10] In 1894, the Alice Kimball English Prize, which was established to support summer travel, was awarded to Foote.

[7] In 1901, she returned to New York City to set up a studio on Washington Square where she earned a comfortable living from her portrait commissions;[6] her list of clients reads as a Who's Who of the art scene of her day.

[15] Her work was described as follows: Mary Foote sent some fine canvases, of which the most striking, perhaps, was that of Mrs. John Carpenter-an exceedingly skilful management of a blue hat and a red coat, with well considered "repeat" accents in the book and cup and saucer upon the table.

Her portrait of Mrs. Hermann Kobbe also showed a fine and subtle modeling, and the color value of the pink necklace in relation to the peculiar flesh tints of the subject was happily expressed.

[17] One of her friends, Robert Edmond Jones, a stage designer in New York, had been a analysand of Carl Jung and Toni Wolff.

[10] Her secretary and assistant from the 1930s until the seminar series ended with the start of World War II was an Englishwoman, Mrs. Emily Köppel, who was married to a man from Switzerland.

[10] A fellow friend, Muriel Draper, said of Foote: I cannot conceive of more conflicting psychological elements meeting under similar conditions without explosion.

Almost everyone was in love or hate and only Mary Foote could come cutting through the snarled air like a cool smooth silver fruit-knife, severing at the crucial moments the crossed threads that were in danger of becoming firmly knotted entanglements.
